Baked mashed potatoes with white bean puree Directions

Clean and peel the potatoes. Cook them in lightly salted boiling water until soft then drain.

Mash hot potatoes with a potato masher. Drain the beans and blend with a immersion blender or stand mixer. In a bowl put together the vegetables and the bean paste, cheese (Set aside 1 tablespoon), eggs, marjoram and thyme, salt and pepper. Mix everything and set aside.

Lightly oil a baking dish or roasting pan and sprinkle with some breadcrumbs or polenta. Pour the mixture into the dish and level it. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and a tablespoon of grated cheese.

Preheat oven to 200° C. Bake for about 30 minutes until it becomes slightly golden. Let it rest for 5 minutes then serve warm with a mixed salad or grilled vegetables of your choice.

This variation of Italian peperonata is a very tasty side dish composed of oven roasted bell peppers stewed in the pan with onion, cherry tomatoes and garlic. It can be served both hot and cold as a side dish paired with meat and fish or by itself on a bruschetta with a drizzle of olive oil.

This creamy coffee caramel sauce is super sweet and super delicious. With a distinct taste of coffee and cardamom, in addition to the sweetness of white chocolate, it's a great way to garnish ice cream, pancakes, waffles, cakes or just plain black coffee.
